Most restaurants in the US – including mom and pop – use national food chain networks to get the produce they use to cook with. Are there any chains that source their food locally?
In-N-Out can only place restaurants in certain locations due to internal supply chain limitations. I haven’t confirmed it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if their food was sourced locally because of it.
Five Guys usually names where the potatoes are from, but oddly don’t mention the source of the beef, veggies, etc.
Swiss Chalet in Rochester and Buffalo used to source it’s potatoes locally, before they closed anyway. Kraft for everything else not supplied by the chain.
me and my 30 year old information
That’s something that’s usually advertised by the establishment. I know that e.g. in St Louis both Rooster and Mike’s Local Eats source their ingredients from local as much as possible
Chains, by definition, are supplied by the lowest common denominator
Not exactly. Many franchises require that you purchase food through them and some of them will put time in ensuring quality.
And where do you think the ingredients for those items come from?
Infact they created their own even lower denominator because greed
